Morning boys. Just a quick one..
Right I have two mates with S3's who have recently had Revo software loaded on their cars. Now one of them has had Stage 1 for about 6 months and after telling him about Stage 2+ and the feedback people have been giving about it, it didn't take him long to get the additional hardware added (Autotech, Dbilas, Milltek TBE) followed by the software.
After going out in it the other night I was definately impressed, but there was a flat spot. I asked him what settings it was set up on and was told B9 T7 F6. So we had a play about with my switch and changed it to B9 T6 F8 and it is now perfect (his comments, not mine
) and goes like a fooking rocket. What did concern me was he was told he could try settings B9 T9 F9
. Now correct me if i'm wrong, but T9??????
Also my other mate has just had Stage 1 added to his 09 plate S3 SB and he was set up on B7 T5 F2
Now I may not be 100% clued up, but should a Stage 1 car be on F2? As every Stage 1 car I have seen before with stock pump has always been on F9. I was led to believe that the lower the fuel setting, the more fuel is requested, hence it's always set up on 9 unless the car has a HPFP.
We have been out this morning in it and we tried B9 T6 F9 and the car felt alot stronger than the B7 T5 F2 it was on (also had a flat spot at about 5k on these settings which went when changed). I know the boost would obviously make it feel stronger due to it being more aggressive, but it just felt better all the way through the revs.
Now I know the guy who has mapped both cars and he is a sound chap, but hasn't been a Revo dealer very long. He took both cars out after mapping them with VAGCOM apparently to set them up bang on, but I can't help but think the settings aren't quite right (especially the fuel)
What do you boys think? Am I right to be curious, or are these settings the norm with some cars?
